De Poel is a lake located between Amstelveen and the Amsterdamse Bos. This lake was created in the 19th century by peat excavations and has never been reclaimed. Today, De Poel is used by water sports enthusiasts, but it is also well-known among restaurant lovers thanks to the adjacent two-Michelin-star restaurant "Aan de Poel."
